Science Traces Oxygen Development on Earth!

China: Scientists Trace Earth’s 2-Billion-Year Oxygen Rise! (28.8.2025)

The study, led by China’s Chengdu University of Technology in collaboration with the UWA and published in Nature, showed that following the Neoproterozoic oxygen rise, Earth’s largely oxygen-poor oceans experienced periodic oxidation pulses.

The events resulted in synchronized carbon, sulphur and oxygen isotope shifts over hundreds of millions of years, which suggests that increasing atmospheric oxygen repeatedly triggered transient ocean oxidation.

“The findings provide an environmental framework for understanding the origin and evolution of life on Earth, as well as the formation of mineral deposits and petroleum resources,” Dodd said.

China: Legacy of WWII Concentration Camp honours Friendship & Peace! (28.8.2025)

During the event, Stanley met Han Chongbin, an 80-year-old whose father once aided expatriates at the Weihsien concentration camp.

“At that time, out of pity for the internees, my father spent his own money to buy candy and brought eggs from home, managing to send them into the concentration camp. In return, the internees dismantled an iron bed and sent it out,” Han said. “He never expected that his help would be ‘rewarded.'”

In 2019, Han donated the iron bed to the museum. Now a museum volunteer, he shares stories about that period of history with visitors.

With the help of translators, he and Stanley shared a heartfelt conversation, holding hands like old friends. “Peace is our common aspiration,” Stanley said.

“Remembering suffering is not perpetuating hatred; it is igniting the beacon of hope for the future,” said Ayo Ayoola-Amale, vice chair of the governing council of International Cities of Peace.

“Weifang’s commitment to preserving this legacy — establishing the camp’s memorial museum, inviting descendants of survivors to return, and educating younger generations with truth — epitomizes the deepest practice of peace. Such courage deserves global recognition,” she said.

Universal Postal Union Shows Solidarity!

Universal Postal Union [UNU]: 25 Countries Suspend Postal Services to US Over Tariffs! (28.8.2025)

Korea Post said it will halt sending air parcels and some express mail services to the U.S. starting Tuesday, while keeping premium services, operated via private couriers, available subject to customs duties.

Other countries including France, Britain, Germany, Italy, India, Australia, and Japan, also announced the suspension. 

The U.S. media outlet NPR said eliminating de minimis shipments would hurt poorer Americans the most and — presaging the headaches that logistics companies are encountering this week — would be “an administrative nightmare,” citing a report released by the U.S. think tank Cato Institute.

Rubber Dinghies More Effective Than D-Day!

Bulgaria Rubber-Boat Saga – Starmer Stops Biggest Amphibious Landing in English Channel Since D-Day! (26.8.2025)

Perhaps Turkey is doing this by supporting illegal immigration into the UK? If the boats can be caught en route – then it is an easy task to name and shame the Turkish companies behind the manufacturers of these boats. Yes – it plays into the far-right narrative – but that is because the far-right is, in this instance, is simply relaying the news, albeit for their own nefarious purposes. Why is the far-left silent on this issue – and effectively dead in the water? Is it because the far-left has burned all its bridges by remaining silent about the US-inspired Neo-Nazi regime that has been in power in Ukraine since 2014 – whilst subsequently declaring Russia’s response to it as “Imperialist”. With a track record like that – the far-right – like a broken clock – is going to be right twice a day just be default! Meanwhile, Starmer is so unpopular that Labour has completely lost the plot – with this episode being so stage-managed it is ridiculous! Imagine not knowing where a product is made in today’s 24-hour capitalist society – where every bean is accounted for!

I Can See Your Thoughts...

Dialectical Materialism & Rebirth for Marxists! (26.8.2025)

In a moment – things dialectically change forever. When the axe fell on the neck of Charles I in 1649 – the ancient convention of an absolute monarch in England ended forever. How could this have happened? Well, there was a Revolution which saw tens of thousands fight and die in England so that the emerging bourgeois class could usurp political power from the aristocracy. There was no future for the absolute monarchy. And yet the agency of the “moment”, despite its nature, continue to manifest unabated. Rebirth is not reincarnation – the Buddha hinted about the former but rejected the latter. Rebirth may not be what the average Marxist thinks it is. An effective Marxist regime must be replicated effectively from one generation to the next.
